This minigame is very dynamic, involving different levels of tasks. Because of this, the minigame risk ratings are given in the task summaries (found at the beginning of the Non-set Beginner, Beginner, Medium and Hard task listings). There are no Elite tasks and there are no serious combat tasks.

Introduction

The Lumbridge Tasks consist of tasks that can be completed by low, medium, and high level players.

What to wear is for you to decide. However, few tasks directly involve combat, so armour will not be necessary except for very low levels, who may want defence against ordinary monsters that exist around the towns.

In general, Jagex allows players to use stat boosting items (such as potions, pies, ales or Evil Dave's stew) to increase a stat to do a task. However, player assists do not work.

Each time you finish a task, you will get a message in the top central part of your window stating that you've completed a task. Open the Task List and you'll see a small check mark next to that task. If you do not have the requirements for a task, a small lock will appear in the corner of the task. Once you have completed all the tasks of this region or you do not have requirements for any of the other tasks, minigames will appear in the task list.

You can perform the tasks in any order and at any level (Beginner, Easy, Medium or Hard) that you wish. To help players plan effectively, a map showing the location for each task is available. It shows a code number for each task, which matches the lists in this guide. Check the map, bring what you need, and you're on your way! Enjoy exploring all that Lumbridge has to offer!
